SELF DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
The units in this manual contain a self-diagnostic function. If an error occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER lamp will automatically
begin to flash.
The number of times the lamp flashes translates to a probable source of the problem. A definition of the STANDBY/TIMER
lamp flash indicators is listed in the instruction manual for the user’s knowledge and reference. If an error symptom cannot
be reproduced, the remote commander can be used to review the failure occurrence data stored in memory to reveal past
problems and how often these problems occur.
1. DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATORS
When an errors occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER lamp will flash a set number of times to indicate the possible cause of the
problem. If there is more than one error, the lamp will identify the first of the problem areas.
Result for all of the following diagnostic items are displayed on screen. No error has occured if the screen displays a “0”.

3. STOPPING THE STANDBY/TIMER FLASH
Turn off the power switch on the TV main unit or unplug the power cord from the outlet to stop the STANDBY/TIMER lamp
from flashing.
4. SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN DIPLAY
For errors with symptoms such as “power sometimes shuts off” or “screen sometimes goes out” that cannot be confirmed, it
is possible to bring up past occurances of failure for confirmation on the screen:
[To Bring Up Screen Test]
In standby mode, press buttons on the remote commander sequentially in rapid succession as shown below:
[Screendisplay] / channel [5] / Sound volume [-] / Power ON
˘
Note that this differs from entering the service mode (mode volume [+]).

5. HANDLING OF SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN DISPLAY
Since the diagnostic results displayed on the screen are not automatically cleared, always check the self-diagnostic screen
during repairs. When you have completed the repairs, clear the result display to “0”.
Unless the result display is cleared to “0”, the self-diagnostic function will not be able to detect subsequent faults after
completion of the repairs.
[Clearing the result display]
To clear the result display to “0”, press buttons on the remote commander sequentially as shown below when the diagnostic
screen is being displayed.
Channel [8] / 0
[Quitting Self-diagnostic screen]
To quit the entire self-diagnostic screen, turn off the power switch on the remote commander or the main unit.

• REMOVAL OF ANODE-CAP
Note:
• After removing the anode, short circuit the anode of the picture tube and the anode cap to the metal chassis, CRT
shield or carbon paint on the CRT.
•REMOVING PROCEDURES
a

1 Turn up one side of the rubber cap in the direction
indicated by the arrow a.
b
b
2 Using a thumb pull up the rubber cap firmly in the direc-
tion indicated by the arrow b.
3 When one side of the rubber cap is separated from the
anode button, the anode-cap can be removed by
turning up the rubber cap and pulling it up in the
direction of the arrow c.
•HOW TO HANDLE AN ANODE-CAP
1 Do not damage the surface of anode-caps with
sharp shaped objects.
2 Do not press the rubber too hard so as not to
damage the inside of anode-cap.
A metal fitting called the shatter-hook terminal is
built into the rubber.
3 Do not turn the foot of rubber over too hard.
The shatter-hook terminal will stick out or damage
the rubber.

supply voltage unless otherwise noted.
Perform the adjustments in the following order :
1. Beam Landing
2. Convergence
3. Focus
4. White Balance
Controls and switches should be set as follows unless otherwise noted:

• Standard data listed on the Adjustment Item Table are reference values, therefore it may be different for each model and for each mode.
• Note for Different Data Those are the standard data values written on the microprocessor. Therefore, the data values of the modes and stored respectively in the memory.
shaded items are fixed data.
In case of a device replacement, adjustment by rewriting the data value is necessary for some items.

Note:
•All capacitors are in µF unless otherwise noted.
•All electrolytic capacitors are rated at 50V unless otherwise
noted.
•All resistors are in ohms.
kΩ = 1000Ω, MΩ = 1000kΩ
•Indication of resistance which does not have rating electrical
power is as follows.
Pitch: 5 mm
Rating electrical power 1/4W (CHIP: 1/10W)
•: nonflammable resistor.
•¢: internal component.
•: panel designation or adjustment for rrepair.
•All variable and adjustable resistors have characteristic curve
B unless otherwise noted.
•Readings are taken with a color-bar signal input.
no mark: COMMON
(): PAL
[]: NTSC 3.58
•Readings are taken with a 10 MΩ digital multimeter.
•Voltage are dc with respect to ground unless otherwise
noted.
•Voltage variations may be noted due to normal production tolerances.
